Summary: | The author refers to the internment in the Curragh Camp of about one hundred men, and the lack of protest from the trade union movement, the Labour Party and others.

He makes reference to other former British colonies and their difficulties in dealing with similar problems, and ends by suggesting that violent protest at least brings public and political attention to the issue. |
